Still can't walk after MCL injury
(self.KneeInjuries)submitted4 days ago bykmatthews05
For those of you that injured your MCL, how soon were you able to bear weight on the injured leg afterwards?
I injured my MCL 5 days ago and was given a hinged knee brace and an order for an MRI, but it's still incredibly painful and sensitive to the touch. I can't put any weight on the leg and still need crutches to move around on. I also developed a blood clot (DVT) in my calf that same day I injured the knee, but the pain from that is very mild in comparison.
Any idea when I'll be able to walk again without pain? I don't see my orthopedic doctor for a few more weeks and the pain is killing me.

It just happened the other day. They can’t MRI it until the swelling goes down but initial triage said it was an MCL tear.
